Rubric: The practice of entrepreneurship in a competitive environment The author: Lyubyashenko S. |
The subject of the article is the study of production structures consisting of a set of independent firms (enterprises interacting with each other through the supply of products through horizontal and vertical links in a single production and technological chain. It is assumed that firms at different levels of the chain not only supply components up, but also sell them on the market, organizing interaction with wholesale buyers. The mechanism of interaction takes into account economic interests, the demand for the company’s products in the market and reflects the situation of equilibrium. The scientific novelty of the study is the deepening of the methodological basis for describing the interaction of participants in the technological chain using matrix modeling based on the principles of constructing matrices of intersectoral balance. Such characteristics of firms and the system as a whole as: final product, gross product, resource volumes are considered. On the basis of the obtained final formulas, the dependences of the economic characteristics of the activity of firms and the system as a whole on the decrease (increase) in prices for resources, on changes in demand are established. The proposed approach to determining the final product of the system seems to be quite reasonable: firstly, the output volumes of the system are linked through the interaction of the manufacturer and seller, taking into account market demand, and, secondly, the volume of sales reflects the economic interests of the parties. The ratio “the price of products on the market – the volume of supply” becomes justified on the part of the demand function (the end consumer), the seller and the manufacturer of products. Such an optimization approach to determining the results of interaction promptly takes into account changes in the market environment and adjusts the performance indicators of participants in the direction of their consistency, which makes it possible to increase the stability of the system. It is established that when the market situation worsens as a result of rising prices for factors of production or a reduction in effective demand, there is a percentage decrease in final output in value terms, but the rate of its reduction is lower. The case of a decrease in demand has a more negative impact on the economy of the firm and the entire system. Thus, the growth rates of the economy and the well-being of the population are determined by the efficiency of complex hierarchical structures with horizontal and vertical relationships.

Rubric: The practice of entrepreneurship in a competitive environment The author: Osipenko O. V. |
The work examines important aspects of the organizational constitution of the priority of corporate conflict management at Synergy University. The author emphasizes that the creation of the Center for Corporate Conflictology at the University is a landmark event, marking the transition to a new stage in the development of this branch of science. The article analyzes in detail the goals and objectives of corporate conflictology, including analytical design and scientific and applied demonstration of realistic representations of agents of investment practice and business processes. The work proposes a thematic plan for a course in corporate conflictology for business owners, developed by the author, designed for 80 academic hours. The author also discusses methods of teaching and implementing a corporate conflictology course into the educational process, including the use of case-study and interdisciplinary research. The author postulates that corporate conflictology and corporate governance in general are based on a wide cycle of knowledge covering various industries. Thus, the article emphasizes the importance of an interdisciplinary approach and knowledge exchange in the field of corporate conflict management. At the same time, the work describes two types of ensuring the interdisciplinarity of the field of knowledge: 1) a mechanistic, textbook approach with episodic and systematic “mutual information” of related subjects; 2) a truly integration approach with theoretical and methodological work on the unification of interpretations and “mutual integration” of knowledge. It is emphasized that for the current stage of development of corporate conflictology, the path of mutual integration of knowledge rather than mutual information is more effective. This justifies the importance of unified interpretations and processes of mutual integration of knowledge for the development of corporate conflictology. An interdisciplinary approach helps students develop the comprehensive knowledge and skills necessary to work in the field of conflict management in a corporate environment. The author calls for testing this methodology in educational institutions in order to enrich the educational process and prepare students for real challenges in the field of corporate conflict management. The author highlights the challenges and problems faced by supporters of the development of corporate conflictology, and also analyzes criticism of this branch of science. In conclusion, the importance of developing corporate conflictology and its potential contribution to the understanding and management of corporate conflicts is emphasized. Continue... |

The article discusses methodological approaches to the formation of entrepreneurial competencies in the field of social entrepreneurship. It is proved that the choice of educational content and the focus of studying the features of management in social entrepreneurship depends on the level of training and learning goals of certain categories of students. The approaches to the design of practical classes and materials for the current monitoring of students’ academic performance at various levels of professional educational programs are presented. Examples of tasks and workshops are considered, differing in content, volume, complexity, methods and techniques that are used in the process of teaching social entrepreneurship at IFPU Synergy. The authors confirm the expediency of a differentiated approach to the organization of the process of teaching social entrepreneurship to students in college (SPE), bachelor’s degree (specialty) in the field of Entrepreneurship and in the system of additional training in the business accelerator.

The seminar is devoted to alternative legal ways in enhance competition policy enforcement towards large digital platforms and their ecosystems. Effects-based, or rule of reason competition enforcement that requires case-specific economic analysis shows limited effectiveness due to excessively lengthy decision-making process, which is not always compensated by the decrease of legal errors. The presentation of Professor Y. Katsoulacos (Emeritus Professor, Athens University of Economics and Business, Affiliated Chair Professor, Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics (JUFE), former Commissioner of the Hellenic Competition Commission, Chair of Scientific Committee and Coordinator of Competition and Regulation European Summer School and Conference CRESSE www.cresse.info), classifies the main approaches to reform in terms of changing the substantive standard of competition law, the legal standard, reallocation the burden of proof in competition cases, as well as in terms of the choice between ex ante regulation and ex post law enforcement.

| The article explains the current and expected changes in the competition policy of the Russian Federation. In order to highlight the specific features of competition policy and antitrust enforcement in Russia, the article compares the objectives and instruments of the Russian enforcement with those under normative concept of competition policy and design of competition policy globally. Two challenges that Russian competition enforcement faces are international sanctions and deglobalization and restructuring of the markets under the impact of large digital platforms. History of competition policy development explains the response of competition policy on these challenges. Cut of administrative costs of business, amplifying the on-going reform of control and supervisory system in Russia, became probably the most effective competition-enhancing measure. Export restrictions in the form of quotas and tariffs partially replaces the enforcement against excessive pricing under the law “On protection of competition” aimed at the decreasing pass-through of commodity prices from international to the domestic markets. Competition enforcement towards digital platforms mostly uses the general provisions of the law “On protection of competition” in spite of the persistent desire to adopt the sector-specific antitrust provisions. Complete or partial exit of the international digital platforms from the Russian market (or at least from business in Russia) partially smooths the severity of the issue of monopolization in domestic market. The Russian digital platforms in particular segments still compete with the domestic as well as international rivals. Continue... | |

Rubric: Business competitiveness in the digital environment Authors: Morozova I., Smetanin A., Smetanina A. |
The article is devoted to determining the prospects for improving the management of business competitiveness through expanding the use of artificial intelligence and big data technologies for its sustainable development in Russia. The research methodology is based on the use of regression analysis, which is used to model the influence of factors of the use of digital technologies in business on the competitiveness of the economy. The time period of the study covers the boundaries of the Decade of Science and Technology: statistics for 2022 are used and a forecast is compiled for the period until 2031. As a result, based on the experience of the top 30 countries with the most active use of digital technologies in business in 2022, the authors compiled an econometric model competitiveness of the economy. Based on this model, the prospect of using artificial intelligence and big data in managing the competitiveness of Russian business for its sustainable development in the Decade of Science and Technology is revealed. The author’s main conclusion based on the results of the study is that the prospect of strengthening the competitiveness and sustainable development of business in Russia in the Decade of Science and Technology is associated with an increase in the use of artificial intelligence and big data technologies by business structures. The authors substantiate the feasibility of active technological modernization of business to strengthen technological competitive advantages, which are of great value in the modern market environment. The authors provide a scientific argument that artificial intelligence and big data technologies are more preferable (they make a much greater contribution to competitiveness) than Internet of Things technologies and cloud services. The practical significance of the results obtained by the authors is due to the fact that the recommendations compiled for increasing the activity of using artificial intelligence and big data in Russian business will make it possible to more fully reveal the growth potential of its competitiveness. The proposed control values of the relevant indicators will serve as guidelines for this in support of sustainable business development in Russia Continue... |
